Art, I faced the same kind of dilemma, only mine being is that my fuselage was 3 inches wider than plans. I thought about splitting mine down the middle, then scabbing in a pie shaped piece to fill the void. After much consideration, I felt the bottom line was that splitting a RR part would be adding un-necessary weight, and involve waaay to much finish sanding to yield acceptable results. I built my own Hat-stiffened turtle deck that ended up weighing half as much as the RR "pre-molded" part. Sanding and forming foam is only about 1000% easier than sanding micro and / or flox. Your results may vary, but you can see how I built mine at: http://www.kr-builder.org/ScottCable/index.html Godd luck and happy sanding!

Mine fuselage is 14" longer than the original KR2 but shorter than the KR2S. Is it worth the effort to adapt it?
